Turkish officials vowed to retaliate swiftly against militants after a car bomb attack killed at least 34 people in the capital Ankara on Sunday, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledging to bring terrorism “to its knees.”

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, whose office is meters away from the blast site, said the government was close to identifying the group responsible for the attack, promising “the heaviest punishment” for perpetrators.
